NORTH SALEM, N.Y. – A broad spectrum of North Salem middle and high school students will man booths and tables March 9 to demonstrate and explain their unusual talents.

The How-To Festival is under the direction of Video Broadcasting Club Adviser Cynthia Sandler, and is entered in Cablevision/MSG Varsity’s Charity Champions, a program devised to see who can raise the most money or get the most people interested in supporting a cause. At the end of the local event, a super-size check will be presented to the charity of choice – in this case, the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund.

“It was chosen because North Salem was especially devastated by the storm, with two lives lost,” Sandler explained.

“The event ties in closely with our District Mission, which focuses on life-long learning and community service,” she added.

How-to sessions will last about 25 minutes and will run simultaneously, so you can mosey around and make your own choices.

Are you intimidated by your computer? Robert Carroccetto, who works at the Apple Computer Genius Bar, will be there to (perhaps) solve your problems.

Hungry? Members of the International Club will be making crepes, just like those they sell to fellow students at the end of the school day.
